Chapter 189: Life's Choices

"Surprised?"

"Very"

I nodded at Elda's words as I looked at the beautiful scenery in front of me, currently both of us were sitting on top of a tree trunk that gazed upon the beautiful scene of the world, Elda had brought me here to calm me down after seeing how stunned I was to be here, the gentle wind blew through the world as it caressed both our faces as Elda spoke looking outwards

"I always like to come here, it always seemed to make me more relaxed there is something about this world that makes me calm?"

Elda's words, in the end, was affected with a bit of confusion from her, I looked at her face that seemed to be hiding some pain, while her expression burned with confusion, the light from the sky fell upon her enchanting her beauty more as her legs dabbled through the tree trunk wherr her fair and beautiful leg at times would peek out

I didn't respond to Elda's words as I moved closer to her placing my hands on her waist as I pulled her closer, she didn't hesitate as she placed her head on my shoulder, as the silence reigned

3rd Peron POV:

Elda felt like her mind relax and the pain she felt lessen as she lay within her big brothers embrace, for a moment she felt like Austin and she was the only people in the world and she wished this could go on forever with both of them spending their life with each other and unknowingly her desires left her mouth

"I hope this could go on forever"

Austin who was besides her heard her words, a light sweep of contemplation burned deep within his purple eyes, soon seconds ticked by before he spoke

"The true world is never a beautiful place, no matter who they would all have to go through things in life they do not wish to but running away from the problems never solved anything, in this world, there might be hundreds of things for us to be sad about but among all that we would only need one reason to move forward"

"The place right now does not have a hint of impurity, it's the accumulation of innocence and safety, nothing here will lie to us, nobody here will stab your back we if show it to them and everybody here will trust us unconditionally, it truly is amazing to be here but would we be just throwing away who we are if we did it?"

"We are who we are because of what we had gone through, there might be a ton of darkness and filth in the true world that will push us to our knees but we still we go on why? it's simple even with all the things within this world we have to hate there would still be one thing for us to love and that would be more than enough for us to push forward"

Austin's words were light as they resounded within the world, Elda's eyes twinkled with some understanding as she heard her big brothers words, a bit of tear appeared at the edge of her eyes as she understood what her big brother was pointing towards and it only seemed to further catch her heart as Austin seemed to have an inkling of the pain she had to go through

Elda's life wasn't all that beautiful by having the fairy bloodline, fairies by nature are beings of purity, they were capable of seeing much more in this world than others, especially when it came to filth and darkness that existed within this world

That's the main reason that all the fairies live of in this closed world, it was because they were unable to deal with all the darkness they saw outside and Elda with her bloodline was the same, at the beginning of her bloodline path it wasn't easy for her, she could 'see' much more than others and this was hard

At first, her bloodline was a curse to her, and all those whom she 'saw' was too much for her but within all this one person was the same, it was her big brother, unlike the rest he was like a beaming beacon of light and comfort that brought light to her world, he was her pillar and he was the one who helped her see the light in all those she had lost faith

Even in the deepest pit of despair, he was the only person that shined with such a bright light that it drove away all the darkness that threatened to consume her, it was only and only with her big brother would she be calm and relaxed, it was only when she was with Austin was she capable of being happy

And nothing in the world brings her as much as joy as being within his embrace, the bloodline that gave her strength should have been a curse to her but her big brother was an umbrella that held the skies for her shielding her from all that wished her harm, nothing in this world is important to her heart as Austin and nobody else will be able to take that place too

As Elda's mind raced Austin too felt nostalgic, he was nothing more than a normal college student before he was thrown into this place, he had lost his family and he was alone, there were indeed times that he thought of giving up, for what was he fighting for? but during all this time there would be someone that would help him through it and they became the reason for which he strived

Harem? sure it sounds amazing but is that the only reason for which he must live? what does he strive for? all these questions had once plunged him into an abyss but thankfully there was someone beside him that helped him break apart the thoughts that were crushing him

'Vena, how are you?'

Austin's mind raced with the image of a beautiful dragon that accompanied him during the initial part of his travels, the woman that took a part of his heart, he dearly wishes to feel her warmth again but he knows that he must wait for now, his chance will arrive

"Elda, I cannot feel nor understand your pain but that doesn't mean that I can't be the tree that you could lean on, with me you can be yourself after all you are my beloved little sister"

As Austin spoke his last words he lovingly patted the emotional girl's head who gave out the most beautiful smile she could as tears rolled down her face, Elda knew it before and she knew it now and she will continue to know it in the future that...

"I love you, big brother!"

With those words Elda dived deep into Austin's embrace as she hugged him tightly unwilling to let go, feeling Elda's hug Austin smiled dotingly as he hugged her back, the beautiful rainbow-like wave continued to float above them as for a moment two beating hearts became one
